Goodwin Smiths Views as Given to the
Toronto Mail.

Toronto Mail.

and the United States, Goodwin Smith dis
cusses the important question at some
length. In the first place, if absolute free
trade between the two countries were ar
ranged for, the seven millions of dollars
now collected per annum in duties on Unit
ed States products would he lost to the
revenue. Mr.. Smith points out that the
people would be none the worse Off if they
made good the seven millions in some other
way. But it would not be necessary to
make up so much as the large cost of main
tanning customs Offices along the border
would be done away with. The balance
could be saved in various ways that he
points out, so that no new form of taxation
need take the place of that struck Oft And
this is how Mr.. Smith proposes to retrench;
However, s3von millions are one million
less than the sum by which the expenditure
Of The dominion government has increased
within three years believe that we might
save that sum and more by reduction OF ex-
travagant expenditure would propose
TO put an end to bette terms, in which
over four millions were sent last year; to
